Quick report
We observed a week layer under the 2' of new snow we received in the last week. This makes for a pretty reactive layer and a storm slab problem. With the added weight of new snow, this will become more of an issue. We will continue to monitor this storm slab issue with new snow expected in the next several days. Keep traveling on 30 degree slops to a minimum and exercise extreme caution if necessary. Theres a lot of fun places to play out there that are safe. have fun out there and stay safe! We performed an ECT and PST stability tests on a NE aspect at approximately 10,450 feet in elevation. We received an ECTP 14 and PST 18/120End both under our Tuesday storm slab layer approximately 55cm below the snows surface.

Snowpack
We observed a weak layer under the new snow we received in the last week or so. The "Christmas crust" is still visible about 120 cm below the surface. Even though we did not get a reaction on the Christmas crust, there is still a possibility for an avalanche to step down to that layer.
